Get Ready for Patio Season in Edmonton with Alley Kat Beer Launch Party

Summer starts early with the arrival of local brewery Alley Kat‘s seasonal summer beer! As the weather warms up and the sun starts to peek through, nothing seems more appealing then relaxing and enjoying a cold drink on an outdoor patio; Alley Kat helps to invoke those days of summer with their new Summer Squeeze Grapefruit Ale.

Celebrate the release of this refreshing, citrusy brew with a FREE launch party at the brewery (9929-60 Ave) on Thursday, April 4. Drop-in any time between 5 pm – 8 pm. Their new Full Moon Belgian Pale Ale — an updated version of their standard Full Moon Ale — will also debut at this event. Samples of the brew and appetizers will be served, and there will also be complimentary brewery tours for those interested in having a behind-the-scnes look at the brewing process.
